What are you looking to go into post-MBA? Where do you want to be located (for school or for work) -- do you want to stay in India/Asia, go to Europe, Australia, the US?

Hi,

Thank you so much for replying. Location is not at all an issue for me (though I want to come back to India after some time). I will be obliged if you suggest me some good bschools within top 30 where I stand a chance. I have already sent my scores to ISB,NUS,Nanyang,Hong Kong Business school and Insead. I can't decide what US bschools I should apply to. Should I apply to LBS ,HEC Paris or IMD as well ? Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Prad

Hi Pradbitt,

You seem to have a good profile. In addition to the schools you have already applied to, why dont you apply to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg and MIT Sloan ? These are fantastic schools in the US and while they are super competitive, I think you would stand a good chance if you wrote excellent essays in almost all of them. The schools you have sent scores to dont really compare against the M7 schools in the US(Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, Booth, MIT and Columbia). So think about this when you apply.

Regards
A

You have a below average GPA, but your GMAT score is commendable. B-schools generally put GPA and GMAT score in a single bucket to measure one's academic performance. Your GMAT should be able to make up for your low GPA. The brand name of one's undergrad university certainly helps. It’s a hygiene factor to have.
Though you have not provided details about your work ex and extracurricular activities, I am assuming they are decent and filled with stories of leadership and hard work. Community service is quite important in b-school applications. It tells that you are willing to give back to community.

What do you want to do after your MBA? It is difficult to give precise list of schools to apply as you have provided limited information.

Good Luck!
